GUI install of personal desktop. firstboot: "a soundcard has been detected on your computer...." "Press here to play the sound". I pressed. Nothing happened. Now what? The lack of a sound is probably because I don't have speakers plugged in :) Which I realise now. But a "no, I didn't hear it" option would have been nice, although goodness knows what it would have to say in response. I was left wondering whether it actually had played the sound. A "playing sound now" box which goes away when it's stopped playing would at least have told me that I hadn't managed to find an inactive button or something. Not really sure what firstboot can do here, but the lack of any feedback is a bit disconcerting.
Should be fixed in redhat-config-soundcard-1.0.2-1. It now pops up a dialog to ask the user whether they heard the sound or not. If they say no, I pop up another dialog saying that the soundcard could not be automatically configured. It's not perfect, but it at least gives the user the chance to say "Yes I heard it" or "No I didn't." Some cards just won't work due to bad or nonexistent drivers.
